[0025]
The operation when the use of the mobile phone 10 of the user in the use restricted area is restricted by the mobile communication network system having such a configuration will be described with reference to the sequence diagrams shown in FIGS.
First, the operation of the user registration process of this service will be described with reference to FIG. However, there are two user registration methods.
[0026]
In the first user registration method, the user's mobile phone 10 uses the infrared telephone number reading device 30-1 provided in a corresponding area (for example, the first area A1) of a certain facility, It is a method of registration.
Specifically, first, when telephone number registration is performed from the mobile phone 10 to the infrared telephone number reading device 30-1 in step S10, the infrared telephone number reading device 30-1 transmits the Internet network 14 in steps S11 to S13. The telephone number and the GID allocated in advance to the infrared telephone number reader 30-1 are transmitted to the service control node 22 via the GW node 16.
[0027]
In the service control node 22, the telephone number + GID as received data is written and stored in the service control DB 42 in step S 14, and the telephone number + GID is stored in the subscriber via the location register node 20 in steps S 15 and S 16. In step S17, GID is written in the subscriber data 52 of the corresponding subscriber.
[0028]
In the second user registration method, a GID registration message is transmitted from the SO input device 24 as a service order to the subscriber DB 18 in step S21. In the subscriber DB 18, GID is written to the subscriber data 52 in step S22, and in step S23 and S24, the telephone number + GID of the subscriber DB 18 is transferred to the service control node via the location register node 20. 22 is transmitted. In the service control node 22, the received telephone number + GID is written in the service control DB 42 in step S25.
[0029]
Next, the operation of the schedule registration process of this service will be described with reference to FIG. However, the registration of the schedule is an action allowed only for the management mobile phone 26 possessed by the administrator.
First, in step S31, a setting request is transmitted from the management mobile phone 26 to the Web server 28. In the Web server 28, as shown in step S 32, login authentication of the setting request source management mobile phone 26 is performed.
[0030]
In steps S33 to S35, an authentication request for authenticating whether or not the corresponding management mobile phone 26 is a schedule change-permitted user is sent from the Web server 28 via the protocol conversion unit 44 and the other node interface unit 43. This is performed for the service control DB 42. In the service control DB 42, the corresponding management mobile phone 26 is authenticated with reference to the definition data 51 in response to the authentication request.
[0031]
The authentication request confirmation result is returned from the service control unit 41 to the Web server 28 via the other node interface unit 43 and the protocol conversion unit 44 in steps S36 to S38.
In the Web server 28, if the received authentication result is OK, in step S39, the schedule information of the corresponding definition data 51 of the service control DB 42 is set and changed by remote DB access from the Web server 28. In step S40, the setting change result is notified to the management mobile phone 26 in step S41.
[0032]
Next, the operation of the scenario registration process of this service will be described with reference to FIG. However, the registration of the scenario is an action allowed only for the management mobile phone 26 possessed by the administrator.
First, in step S51, a scenario setting request is transmitted from the management mobile phone 26 to the Web server 28. In the Web server 28, as shown in step S52, login authentication of the management mobile phone 26 as the scenario setting request source is performed.
[0033]
In steps S53 to S55, an authentication request for authenticating whether or not the corresponding management mobile phone 26 is a scenario registration allowed user is sent from the Web server 28 via the protocol conversion unit 44 and the other node interface unit 43. This is performed for the service control DB 42. In the service control DB 42, the corresponding management mobile phone 26 is authenticated with reference to the definition data 51 in response to the authentication request.
[0034]
This authentication request confirmation result is returned from the service control unit 41 to the Web server 28 via the other node interface unit 43 and the protocol conversion unit 44 in steps S56 to S58.
In the Web server 28, if the received authentication result is OK, a scenario setting request is sent from the Web server 28 to the service control unit 41 via the protocol conversion unit 44 and the other node interface unit 43 in steps S59 to S61. And the scenario is registered accordingly.
[0035]
When this registration is performed, in steps S62 to S65, a scenario setting request response from the service control unit 41 is received by the Web server 28 via the other node interface unit 43 and the protocol conversion unit 44, and further from there A scenario setting request response is returned to the management mobile phone 26.
Here, for example, it is assumed that the user of the mobile phone 10 is the student X, and the first area A1 is the own classroom area A1 of the school where the student X attends. In this case, it is assumed that in the user registration, the student X registers his / her telephone number using the infrared telephone number reading device 30-1 provided in the classroom area A1.
[0036]
However, if the infrared telephone number reading device 30-1 is not installed, it is assumed that registration is performed as a service order from the SO input device 24 by the second user registration method described above.
In addition, the user of the management mobile phone 26 is, for example, a teacher Y who is a teacher of the student X, and in the schedule and scenario registration, the use restriction schedule of the mobile phone 10 of the student X in the own classroom area A1 is registered. To do.
[0037]
In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, when the student X carrying the mobile phone 10 is in the off-campus area A2, the use of the mobile phone 10 is not restricted because the barrier control service is not applicable. When the student X moves to his / her classroom area A1, the barrier control service is within the applicable range, so that the use is restricted and the mobile phone 10 cannot be used. Furthermore, when the student X moves to the adjacent classroom area A3 adjacent to the classroom area A1, the mobile phone 10 can be used again because the barrier control service is not applied.
[0038]
Further, in the own classroom area A1, as shown in FIG. 8, use of the mobile phone 10 is restricted according to the time. In this example, if student X attends school at time t1 and enters his / her classroom area A1, the mobile phone 10 cannot be used until time t2 when the first lesson ends (NG). Controlled.
Thereafter, the mobile phone 10 is controlled to be in a usable state (OK) until time t3, which is a break time. Thereafter, similarly, the use restriction is controlled according to the class time, break time, etc. from time t4 to t10, and when student X leaves the classroom area A1 at time t10, the use restriction disappears.
[0039]
The incoming call history and mail during the NG time are stored in a well-known storage means of the mobile communication network 32 and can be reproduced during the OK time.
In the above description, the mobile phone 10 possessed by the student X has been described as an example, but the use restriction is similarly controlled in the mobile phone of another student in the same class as the student X.
[0040]
As described above, the mobile communication network system according to the present embodiment includes the visited switching node 12 that controls the communication of the mobile phone 10 in a predetermined area via the wireless communication line, and the mobile controlled by the visited switching node 12. And a location register node 20 for managing location information and subscriber data of the telephone 10.
Then, unique information such as the telephone number of the mobile phone 10 is registered in the location register node 20 in order to enable the use restriction of the mobile phone 10 to be controlled by the SO input device 24. Then, by the service control node 22 that stores area information that enables the use restriction control of the mobile phone 10, the mobile phone 10 whose own unique information is registered in the location register node 20 exists in the area indicated by the area information. When the service is made, the use of the mobile phone 10 is controlled to an impossible state.
[0041]
Thereby, when the mobile phone 10 is located in a facility or desired area where the use of the mobile phone 10 is desired to be restricted, the use of the mobile phone 10 in the facility or area can be restricted by network control.
Infrared light is connected to the Internet connected to the location register node 20 via a gateway, reads the unique information of the mobile phone 10 by infrared rays, and transmits the read unique information to be registered in the location register node 20. A telephone number reader 30-1 was further provided.
[0042]
That is, by installing the infrared telephone number reading device 30-1 in a desired facility or area, it is possible to arbitrarily designate a facility or area in which the use of the mobile phone 10 is desired to be restricted. When the mobile phone 10 is in the service area, the use of the mobile phone 10 in the facility or area can be restricted by network control.
[0043]
Further, the service control node 22 registers the unique information of the management mobile phone 26 that manages the mobile phone 10 whose own unique information is registered in the location register node 20 in association with the unique information of the managed mobile phone 10. . The service control node 22 performs authentication based on the unique information when the management mobile phone 26 accesses through the server. The authenticated management mobile phone 26 is connected to the management mobile phone 26 when the mobile phone 10 associated with the management mobile phone 26 is located in the area indicated by the area information stored in the storage means. The usage was controlled to be impossible.
[0044]
Thus, when the mobile phone 10 is located in a facility or desired area where the use of the mobile phone 10 is desired to be restricted, the administrator can arbitrarily use the mobile phone 10 in the facility or area by the management mobile phone 26. Can be limited.
Further, the service control node 22 receives and stores scenario information for controlling the use restriction of the mobile phone 10 from the management mobile phone 26 by the date and time, and stores the scenario information according to the stored scenario information. The use restriction of the mobile phone 10 is controlled.
[0045]
Thus, by transmitting and storing the scenario information from the management mobile phone 26, it is possible to automatically control whether or not the mobile phone 10 can be used at the date and time indicated by the scenario information. it can.
In addition, the service control node 22 notifies the corresponding mobile phone 10 of an incoming history and incoming mail to the mobile phone 10 whose use is restricted by using the release of the use restriction of the mobile phone 10 as a trigger.
As a result, incoming calls and e-mails that were during the use restriction of the mobile phone 10 can be received after the use restriction is released.
Therefore, the use of the mobile phone 10 can be restricted to any area and any date and time in a facility where the use of the mobile phone 10 is desired to be restricted.
[0046]
Further, the mobile phone 10 may be provided with a wireless tag {RFID (Radio Frequency-Identification)}. RFID is an automatic recognition technology that includes a reader / writer (antenna + controller) and an ID tag that can store information in an electronic circuit, and can perform data communication by wireless communication. In this case, instead of the infrared telephone number reading devices 30-1 to 30-n, an RFID reader for reading the information of the wireless tag is provided, and the telephone number read by this reader is registered in the location register node 20 as described above. Similar effects can be obtained.
[0047]
In addition, a wireless tag is placed at the entrance of the desired area A1, the mobile phone 10 is equipped with an RFID reader, and when entering the area A1, the RFID tag of the mobile phone 10 reads the wireless tag placed at the entrance. Even if the read telephone number is registered in the location register node 20, the same effect as described above can be obtained.
[0048]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention registers the specific information of the corresponding mobile terminal in the location register in order to enable the use restriction control of the mobile terminal, and also enables the use restriction control of the mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal whose own unique information is registered in the location register is located in the area indicated by the area information by the control means storing the area information to be used, the mobile terminal can be used or not used. Control was made to either one of the possibilities.
Accordingly, when the mobile terminal is located in a facility or desired area where the use of the mobile terminal is desired to be restricted, the use of the mobile terminal in the facility or area can be restricted by network control.
[0049]
Further, the control means receives and stores scenario information for controlling the use restriction of the mobile terminal from the management mobile phone according to the date and time, and uses the corresponding mobile terminal according to the stored scenario information. Therefore, it is possible to automatically control whether or not the mobile terminal can be used at the date and time indicated by the scenario information.
